BAR and Zero-K are TA successors, not SupCom successors. IA is a PA successor, and PA was itself kind of its own thing.
SSS is the only game that actually wants to copy SupCom, so it's the only SupCom successor. The others aimed to copy TA.
>but aren't TA and SC really similar?
They're more similar to each other than they are to other RTS games, but they're still quite different, and BAR/ZK use TA as their primary inspiration while SSS uses SC as its primary inspiration.

tbqh I don't think 64-bit is really the issue. 64-bit gives you access to more memory (but that's not necessarily a good thing, you should use as little memory as possible for good performance) and it does give you more convenient range on numbers, but it's not some kind of huge performance advantage. Really the issue is that SupCom is mainly single-threaded and doesn't make use of any amount of parallelism for computation. It was also written in an age when GPU compute wasn't that prevalent, so these days there's probably a lot of work done on the CPU (on a limited number of threads) that could be offloaded to the GPU to save time.
